Password confirmation in Matomo admin does not work when 2FA WP plugin is used

[Artim96]

I'm experiencing this issue: https://matomo.org/faq/how-to-fix-the-current-password-you-entered-is-not-correct-in-the-plugin-releases-4-12-and-4-13/

As it persists after synchronizing users, I tried that last step. I replaced all content of the file after <?php, yet I get the error

An error of type E_PARSE was caused in line 18 of the file /var/www/wordpress/fsmuw/wp-content/plugins/matomo/config/config.php. Error message: syntax error, unexpected token “,”

Hi @Artim96, it looks like the file on that webpage is being cutoff. Unfortunately I can't edit the content right now. The replacement file content should be:

We'll see if we can figure out why the problem is still occurring for you on the latest version. I may have follow up questions for you.

This doesn't work. Issue is, Wordpress only talks about a critical error and that its being sent by mail. But while any other mail is being sent by mail (including the one form the OP), but this one doesn't. Also, sadly Wordpress ignores WP_DEBUG_LOG for a few months now.

I noticed the list of plugins is missing from your system report, are you able to provide the other WordPress plugins in your install? One of them may be interfering with Matomo functionality.

This doesn't work.

You used the updated script I posted, correct? The one with this text array('Login.userRequiresPasswordConfirmation', \Piwik\DI::value?

[Artim96]

It seems some caching was the issue - either by Autoptimize or a Redis Plugin. It works now.

@Artim96 Since you did not post the full plugin list for your instance, I'm assuming you aren't interested in finding out why the password confirmation wasn't working orignally? The replacement script simply disables the feature. (Or maybe you meant the original problem was caused by Autoptimize or Redis Plugin?)

[Artim96]

Nope, just the changed script is working now.

[diosmosis]

Looks like this is an compatibility issue with two factor auth plugins. Disabling the feature is the only workaround for now.

[Artim96]

Makes sense. Maybe the authentication mechanism of WordPress can somehow be leveraged in the future?

[diosmosis]

Matomo for WordPress authenticates through WordPress already. Thanks for the bug report, we'll look into it when we can.
